    "content": "Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker. I know that Sen. Cherargei is the Senator of the respective county, but thank you for allowing me to welcome them on your behalf. Madam Temporary Speaker, concerning the stalled projects in our counties, I want to say categorically that I support this very important Motion by Sen. Kibiru. First, I would like to encourage that thorough financial audit be done before anything is done on the stalled projects in various counties in this country. This is to make it possible to understand what led to the stalling of these particular projects. Where I come from, there are so many stalled projects including bridges. However, when you ask for the reason behind the stalled projects, you are likely to be told that money had been paid and completed. Therefore, it might not be prudent to just look for money elsewhere to complete the stalled projects. It is my advice that a thorough audit be first of all done, so that the root cause of the stalled projects may be established. We have heard of interesting stories. In some counties, whenever some governors start some projects, they are juxtaposed with the projects that they are running in their homes. More often than not, you will find the private projects of the executives being completed on time, when the county projects have not been completed. The Government should commence a thorough audit to establish the reason behind these particular stalled projects. This will make us understand if there was a shortage of money within the Government or whether the contractors failed to complete the projects because of carelessness or corruption."
